Abstract

We review the recently discovered ansatz that describes non‐extremal charged dilatonic branes of string/M‐theory with a transverse circle. The ansatz involves a new coordinate system that interpolates between the spherical and cylindrical case, and reduces the equations of motion to a set of equations on one unknown function of two variables. The function is independent of the charge, so that the ansatz can also be used to construct neutral black holes on cylinders and near‐extremal charged dilatonic branes with a transverse circle. The construction enables us to argue that, for sufficiently large mass, there exists a neutral solution that breaks translational invariance in the circle direction, and has larger entropy than that of the neutral black string of the same mass.

## Abstract We review recent developments concerning supersymmetric black holes in string theory. After a general introduction to the laws of black hole mechanics and to black hole entropy in string theory, we discuss black hole solutions in __N__ = 2 supergravity, special geometry, the black hole
